A new research paper co-authored by a Virginia Tech assistant professor of physics provides a new explanation for two recent strange events that occurred in…
Our body is able to treat many injuries and wounds all by itself. Self-healing powers repair skin abrasions and enable bones to grow back together. However,…
A test of the universality of free fall
Scientists at the Max Planck Institute for Intelligent Systems who are part of the Cyber Valley research consortium together with researchers from Harvard…
Topological metamaterials are applied as a novel platform to explore and study extraordinary effects. Instead of using natural materials, researchers…
Molecular dynamics simulations (MD) have become an ubiquitous tool in modern life sciences. In these simulations, the interactions between atoms and molecules…
Many may have seen bright pink light in some windows – it comes from special lamps that are used for providing sufficient lighting to house plants. Similar…
Rice University neuroengineers have created a tiny surgical implant that can electrically stimulate the brain and nervous system without using a battery or…
“These are major technical accomplishments and may prove useful in advancing energy and information technologies,” said ORNL's Ho Nyung Lee, who led the study…
With more than 3 billion base pairs, the human genome in each cell nucleus stretches to a physical length of two meters. How cells organize those vast amounts…
Now, scientists have devised a new way to study the inner workings of astrophysical shock waves by creating a scaled-down version of the shock in the lab. They…
Rice University scientists have developed an easy and affordable tool to count and characterize nanoparticles.
Cooperation partners in the new research network are the Technical University of Munich, the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology and the Bavarian State Institute…
Nano-functionalisation for smart and sustainable plastic surfaces
For more than 200 years, we have been using X-rays to look inside matter, and progressing to ever smaller structures – from crystals to nanoparticles. Now,…
This it is the story of a unique material – made of a single compound, it conducts electrons in different ways on its different surfaces and doesn’t conduct at…
